Abstract

ABSTRACT Menstrual stigma is a pervasive issue in societies around the world, but advocacy and public dialogue may be able to help dismantle this stigma. Drawing on the tenets of social constructionism, this research examines whether menstrual discourse on Twitter is likely to challenge or reinforce stigma. Qualitative analyses of 644 tweets posted during 2018 suggest that although some public discussions of menstruation reinforce menstrual stigma, many also help undermine stigma by promoting open dialogue, raising awareness around menstrual issues, and advocating for change. Implications for future menstrual activism efforts are discussed.
经期耻辱和推特
摘要月经污名在世界各地的社会中普遍存在,但倡导和公众对话可能有助于消除这种污名。根据社会建构主义的原理,这项研究考察了推特上的月经话语是否可能挑战或强化污名。对2018年发布的644条推文的定性分析表明,尽管一些关于月经的公开讨论强化了月经污名,但许多推文也通过促进公开对话、提高对月经问题的认识和倡导变革来帮助消除污名。讨论了对未来月经活动的影响。
